This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, it is all dealt with by the telephone company. FreeBSD talks directly to the terminating device (modem), not the phone line. -- Chris Cook CompuDoc of Arkansas http://www.arkansasdoc.com 501-697-1712 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Evan Sayer Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 5:20 PM To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Modem Pool Hello- I have a question about modem pools. If I have several dial in lines, and I want them to be acessable via one number, is a modem pool what I want? How exactly do they work and is freebsd equipped to handle them? Thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-isp@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-isp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-isp-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
